It also includes implicit cost associated with on the job training and the productivity loss experienced by other employees that must help acclimate new employees to their environment

Retaining employees is one way the turnover rate can decrease, Branham (2000), focuses on retaining valuable employees by incorporating four key elements.

These employers all have something in common, which is how they value their employers (Branham, 2000). They treat their employees with respect and like family.

Many companies go above and beyond for their customers, but not for their employees, yet they wonder why they are losing valuable talent.
